The Lions and Packers find themselves in a pivotal game heading into Week 5 of the NFL’s 2018 schedule today. To find out how it’s going to turn out Detroit Lions Hats , we’re going to search for answers in a computer-simulated model of the game because looking at tables and charts and trends is for nerds.The Green Bay Packers haven’t exactly been the Green Bay Packers this year. Aaron Rodgers isn’t healthy and the offense is hurting for it, Clay Matthews might be a double agent, and the team can’t stay healthy at wide receiver.As for Detroit, they dropped a heartbreaker last week in Dallas, losing on a last-second field goal that everyone without their corrective lenses could have seen coming. At 1-3, you don’t want to say something as silly as this being a “must-win” game, but if the Lions drop to 1-4 and lose their first divisional game, it’s not doing them any favors.So before the actual game kicks off, let’s see what it looks like to not have T.J. Lang at right guard, Ezekiel Ansah with his hand on the dirt along the edge, and Michael Roberts not doing anything at tight end.Okay, so we’re accustom to all of that.Let’s get a glimpse of what it’s like to see Aaron Rodgers rely on rookies and unproven commodities at wide receiver!Alright, I get it Detroit Lions Hoodie , been there, done that. It might be a hard sell, but look in the mirror; you’ve already adjusted your fantasy lineup into a twisted dimension of hell and there’s no saving it. Just sit back and enjoy some fake football!Be sure to jump over to our live stream starting at 10:20 a.m. ET to keep up with the conversation and join a bunch of us who love to watch Madden be Madden.

Lang: DNPObservations:Brandon Powell was not just a big winner by his performance, but in the playing time that he got. He saw the field even more than some starters, and is clearly emerging as one of the coaching staff’s favorite reserve receivers. Look at that logjam on the interior of the offensive line. The Lions rotated Koloamatangi Customized Detroit Lions Jerseys , Wiggins and Dahl at left guard with the starters, but Wesley Johnson got a lot of time in the second half. Interesting to see three of the Lions’ top running backs split 15 carries, but their presumed (eventual starter), Kerryon Johnson, barely played at all.

Seems like he’s going to have to really impress in the preseason finale to crack this final roster. Cam Johnson’s snap count was low, but his playing time is significant, because when Devon Kennard was resting with the first team, Johnson was the one to take his place. Jonathan Freeny got some playing time after not playing last week. Elsewhere at linebacker, interesting to note that Trevor Bates is getting more playing time than Miles Killebrew at this point. The Lions wasted no time in getting new cornerbacks Dexter McDougle and Sterling Moore in the game. McDougle actually saw the field more than Teez Tabor, while Moore wasn’t far behind.
